Molokai is a great place to cast off for a fishing adventure. Whether you charter a boat from Kaunakakai or cast off right from the pier, fishing is a sport that encapsulates Molokai’s local lifestyle.

Cast off from Kaunakakai pier, the longest wharf in Hawaii for a fishing adventure. Experienced fishermen will love the thrills of deep-sea, big-game fishing in Molokai’s fertile waters, but first-timers will also be in for some fun as Molokai boat captains will help you with everything.

The story of Kalaupapa, Molokai is one of heartbreak as well as heroes. In the late 1800s, Hansen's disease was rampant in Hawaii. A lack of understanding of the disease and other factors led to the forced exile of patients to the secluded peninsula of Kalaupapa.
